This paper investigates whether entrepreneurial and marketing orientations (respectively EOs and Mos) impact – individually or collectively – international new ventures’ (INVs’) post-entry performance growth. Furthermore, we investigate whether such relations are moderated by the foreign social networks, both formal and informal, of international new ventures. Using a survey, we test our hypotheses on a sample of Italian high-tech INVs located in a cluster near Rome. A quantitative analysis is used to test the hypotheses. We found that EOs and MOs positively impact the post-entry international performance growth of INVs. Moreover, while informal foreign social network ties significantly moderate the impact of EOs and MOs, formal foreign social network ties do not have a significant moderating effect. Many theoretical and practical contributions are discussed in the paper.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the risk-taking tendency and achievement needs of Syrian refugee entrepreneurs on their entrepreneurship potential. In the measurement tool designed for this purpose, the risk-taking scale, the achievement needs scale, and the entrepreneurship potential scale, which has been created from the study of Oren and Bickes, has been used. The study is carried out in Gaziantep, which is one of the provinces where Syrian refugees live most intensely in Turkey. The data obtained from 395 Syrian refugee entrepreneurs who set up businesses in Gaziantep by the survey method have been evaluated with explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and structural equation modeling. As a result of the correlation analysis, positive and significant relationships were determined between their risk-taking tendency, achievement need, and entrepreneurship potential. Besides that, in the structural equation model created to test the research hypotheses, it has been found that the effects of both the risk-taking tendency and the achievement need on entrepreneurship potential were positive and significant.

This study investigates the relationship between start-up ecosystem (SE) and start-up performance (SP) in two distinct environments. It analyses SE as a critical antecedent of SP by considering the underlying effects of network learning capability (NLC). We test the hypothesized relationships by a study of 221 start-ups in Colombia and 203 start-ups in Australia and validate the theoretical model using survey information. We apply a structural equation modelling partial least squares structural equation modelling and multi-group approaches. The results verify the positive influence of SE on SP independently of NLC development. Nevertheless, network learning as a capability acts as a moderator by establishing the impact of the SE on SP. The moderating is determined by a strong NLC linking the SE's government, financial and organisational support. The findings contribute to the literature on entrepreneurship and innovation with relevant management implications by providing new evidence regarding the benefits of SE in terms of SP effectiveness.

Quality signals and social network activities can reduce information asymmetry and influence investors’ investment decision which result in overfunding. Based on signaling theory and elaboration likelihood model, we develop a research model to conduct an empirical study in the context of equity crowdfunding. This study uses quantitative data from Crowdcube, the United Kingdom based world largest equity crowdfunding platform. Results conclude that quality signals (campaign characteristics and directors’ information) have a positive significant impact on overfunding. Social network activities make investors feel the project has good electronic word of mouth, thus, have a positive significant impact on overfunding. Results reveal that investors give more weightage to quality signals than electronic word of mouth when making investment decision in equity crowdfunding.

I argue that increased use of ethnographic methods and autoethnographic methods can help bridge the gap between entrepreneurial identity (EI) and entrepreneurial behaviour (EB) in entrepreneurship research and give theoretical weight to the concepts. The disconnection between EI and EB is caused by the inability to answer questions about how EI impacts EB. Using ethnographic methods allows for a fuller depiction of the social context in which entrepreneurs operate, demonstrating the relationship between EI and EB. However, EB remains practically defined and theory about EI is borrowed from other various other literatures, such as sociology, importing the problems as well as the benefits. I argue that the use of autoethnographic methods, researching EI–EB from the entrepreneur's perspective, produces data that can be used to build theory that maintains the practical tilt of entrepreneurship research and addresses its theoretical shallowness.

Introduction By issuing our call for papers on ‘Advancing the Understanding of Value in Entrepreneurship’, we sought to examine heterogeneous perspectives on the varied contributions that entrepreneurship can make to the economy, society, and the individual. In contrast to the focus on (entrepreneurial) value in terms of economic output measures found embedded across different settings including in policy (Smith et al., 2019) and research (Ketchen Jr. et al., 2007), the collection of papers in this Special Issue give a voice to diversity, interrelationships, and context as key components of entrepreneurship and its value. For example, the interplay and heterogeneity of place and space, time, type of entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs themselves, in the creation and experience of value in different forms are examined. The studies in this Special Issue, therefore, both create and shift knowledge regarding the value(s) being created in and by entrepreneurship. Thefive articles in this Special Issue span contexts, business models, sample groups, andmethodological approaches. These articles examine (a) themotivations of older entrepreneurswith a focus on affective value creation related to family and personal well-being and how these may influence subsequent business model choices made, (b) poverty and the multiple, and unexpected, value(s) of entrepreneurship that may provide a route out of poverty (c) the context-informedmotivations of Indigenous peoples in South America, (d) cultural values and their role in agricultural-based entrepreneurship in rural Scandinavia, and (e) the role of foundational (value) embeddedness in small firm decision making in the creative sector. Consequently, each engagement in entrepreneurship, or ‘entrepreneuring’ as per Hashim and Gaddefors, can be positioned as an ‘opportunity’ to achieve idiosyncratic value (Kapasi et al., 2021). In summary, these papers provide an opportunity to develop the conversation regarding the construct, concept, andmeasurement of ‘value’, thereby enhancing our knowledge on theoretical and empirical understanding of myriad and idiosyncratic value in the entrepreneurship context. Overview of papers The first paper, ‘Affective value creation through business model value decision making’ by Stirzaker et al., explores the motivations of older entrepreneurs with a focus on affective value creation related to family and personal wellbeing and how these may influence subsequent business model choices made. Informed by socioemotional selectivity theory (Carstensen et al., 1999), a theory that addresses non-economic value creation, the paper reports motivations that prioritise family-based affective value external to the enterprise itself. This is a move away, suggest the authors, from a common understanding on the interaction between business and family as underpinned by a presupposition that the family services the firm and in turn, the firm contributes income and employment to the family. To date,
通过发布关于“推进对创业价值的理解”的论文征集，我们试图从不同的角度审视创业对经济、社会和个人的不同贡献。与在不同环境中(包括政策(Smith等人，2019)和研究(Ketchen Jr.等人，2007)中发现的经济产出指标方面对(创业)价值的关注不同，本期特刊中的论文集对多样性、相互关系和背景作为创业及其价值的关键组成部分发出了声音。例如，在不同形式的价值创造和经验中，考察了地点和空间、时间、创业类型和企业家本身的相互作用和异质性。因此，本期特刊的研究既创造又转移了关于企业家精神和企业家精神所创造的价值的知识。本期特刊的五篇文章涵盖了上下文、商业模式、样本组和方法方法。这些文章研究了(a)老年企业家的动机，重点是与家庭和个人福祉相关的情感价值创造，以及这些动机如何影响随后做出的商业模式选择，(b)贫困以及可能提供摆脱贫困途径的创业的多重和意想不到的价值(c)南美洲土著人民的背景信息动机。(d)文化价值观及其在斯堪的纳维亚农村以农业为基础的创业中的作用，以及(e)基础(价值)嵌入性在创意部门小企业决策中的作用。因此，每次参与创业，或按照Hashim和Gaddefors的说法“创业”，都可以被定位为实现特殊价值的“机会”(Kapasi等人，2021)。总之，这些论文提供了一个机会来发展关于“价值”的结构、概念和测量的对话，从而增强了我们对创业背景下无数和特殊价值的理论和经验理解的知识。第一篇论文，“通过商业模式价值决策的情感价值创造”，由Stirzaker等人撰写，探讨了老年企业家的动机，重点关注与家庭和个人福祉相关的情感价值创造，以及这些价值如何影响随后的商业模式选择。根据社会情感选择理论(Carstensen et al.， 1999)，一种解决非经济价值创造的理论，该论文报告了优先考虑企业自身外部基于家庭的情感价值的动机。作者认为，这是对企业和家庭之间相互作用的一种普遍理解的一种背离，这种理解是基于这样一种假设，即家庭为企业服务，反过来，企业为家庭贡献收入和就业。迄今为止，很少有人探讨家庭对选择从事企业而不是从事"家族企业"以外的其他类型就业的影响。本文提供了关于价值在塑造创业动机中的作用的新知识，以及家族和企业的内在性质，特别是老年企业家的经验。因此，本文提供的证据表明，年龄较大的创业动机可能会促使人们实现与年龄相关的特定情感回报，从而为个人和家庭福祉做出贡献。与此相关的是，本文提供了证据，证明了老年创业的内在性质，即通过与老年创业的持续运营相关的商业模式价值决策，为改善个人福祉和家庭生活做出了贡献，而老年创业的持续运营是故意塑造的，以确保情感回报得到保护。

This teaching case focuses on the relationship between entrepreneurs, their ventures and the broader context—the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem (I&EE)—in which entrepreneurial activity occurs. Building on secondary data and informal conversations with industry experts, the case recounts the story of Rocket Lab, an aerospace manufacturer and launch service provider founded in 2006 in New Zealand. The case elaborates on how unique contextual conditions in combination with the founder's vision and skills enabled Rocket Lab to become a dominant force in the space sector, even though the firm was founded in a country with virtually no history in spacefaring and highlights that Rocket Lab's emergence constituted the foundation of a burgeoning space industry in New Zealand. In doing so, the case sensitises students to the importance of self-reinforcing and mutually interdependent relationships in well-functioning I&EEs and the role policymakers play in this context. At the same time, it allows a critical discussion of I&EEs, particularly if they are dominated by a small number of anchor firms.

Digital innovations in Africa have increased dramatically over the past two decades, and are fueling a rich literature. In this paper, we examine their impact and transmission channels on women's entrepreneurship in a sample of 54 African countries. We specify and estimate a cross-sectional data model by generalized least squares (GLS) over the period of 1996–2020. Our results show that digital innovations (measured by researchers in R&D, firms in R&D, patents owed by residents, patents owed by non-residents) significantly reduce women's entrepreneurship in Africa. Their effects are mediated by energy, female education, the internet, mobile phones, migration and marriage. We suggest strengthening the digital infrastructure for sustainable women's entrepreneurship in Africa.

Few studies have been conducted on the value and motives of social entrepreneurship with indigenous people. The purpose of this paper is to examine the values and motives of social entrepreneurship and how it is experienced by indigenous groups in Colombia drawing on Structuration Theory theoretical framework. This work draws upon evidence from a multiple case study of five indigenous communities (Curripaco, Puinave, Yanacona, Misak and Wayuu) in three geographic regions. The analysis of the multiple case study using NVIVO.11, discovered internal and external motives and values. The internal drivers identified are Cosmovision, Ancestrality, Knowledge, Identity and Language and Community and Family Wellbeing. The external drivers are Land Rights and Territoriality, Armed Conflict and Violence, Socio Economic Needs: Poverty and lack of employment and Funding Opportunities. This paper brings into attention the importance of understanding the values and motives of social entrepreneurship within indigenous groups in Latin America.

We correspondingly divided these countries into groups according to their income level (high- and upper-middle-income economies) with the data, structured into an unbalanced dynamic longitudinal panel (2000–2020), obtained from the National Expert Survey, Global Monitor Entrepreneurship and the World Bank. After applying the generalised method of moments, we may report that commercial, professional, physical and service infrastructures, government support and policies, R&D transfers, cultural and social norms and financing entrepreneurs positively affect economic growth independently of the national income level. Basic entrepreneurial education does not attain significance in explaining the economic growth of high-income economies and post-education is not significant in explaining the economic growth of upper-middle-income economies. Furthermore, government programmes generate negative effects on the economic growth of OECD countries when considered jointly and individually in high-income economies but with a positive effect on upper-middle-income economies that display an inverse behaviour in the case of the effects of taxes and bureaucracy. The upper-middle-income economies also registered a negative effect in terms of internal market dynamics and openness even while this factor returned positive effects in high-income economies.
